2 Dancing With Death
“ “Police!” Bill said, pulling his badge from his pocket and flashing it so that people would move more quickly. “Coming through!” Dancers shifted out of the way, looking at him in confusion and shock. When they reached the center of the crowd, Betty gasped.
Emily Knolhart was lying unconscious on the floor.
“It’s gone!” came a shout from the front of the ballroom. “The loving cup is gone!” As one, the crowd turned to look at the prize table. Even Betty could tell that the huge grand prize no longer sat on the table.
Before everyone could go into a second panic, Bill spoke, his voice loud enough to carry across the room.
“Everyone please calm down and move away from the prize table and Miss Knolhart,” he said firmly. “We’ll be taking statements from everyone present, so find a place out of the way to sit. Is there anyone here with medical training?”
Betty was amazed when the crowd actually seemed to obey him.
